JobNukkad is run by professionals who have worked in multi-national companies and want to impact the lives of people they meet. The company is said to do extensive background verification to help you find the best maid. They also mention on their website that they commit to providing you a maid within 3 working days.

Maid In India

Run and managed by a non-profit called Decimal Foundation, Maid in India provides employment to housemaids/domestic workers and housekeepers.

They also do their own reference check, and also provide packages during festivals or other celebrations where spring cleaning is involved.
